sony handheld tv

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

ok, i would like to do the led hack in my tv for my portable genesis, could some body tell me how many ohms it would take to reduce 4.5v to 3v?

Depends what current you want.

Use the formula:
PoD wrote:R = (Vs - Vf)/I,

where R is the resistor value, Vs is supply voltage, Vf is forward voltage (LED spec), and I is the desired current. Try a couple different values for the resistor, up to the max current for the LEDs. Remember, the current from that equation is total current for the 3 LEDs. Use the 7.2V supply, not the cathode power supply.
Thanks to PoD and Stereth for the formula (because I didn't feel like typing all that :wink: ).
